Prunus ‘Rotundifolia’ is a evergreen shrub that earns its place in any garden. Cherry laurel Rotundifolia is the classic fast-growing laurel hedge.
The Prunus family includes ornamental cherries and evergreen laurels, offering spring blossom as well as dense, glossy hedging.
Prunus ‘Rotundifolia’ grows best in full sun or part shade, in well-drained soil. It is a good choice for hedging and screening, and also works well for specimen trees, weeping standards and containers. Underplant with spring bulbs, or combine with other evergreen hedging.
Before planting, soak the root ball in a bucket of water. Prepare a hole about twice the width of the pot, fork over the bottom and add organic matter. Plant at the original soil level, firm the soil around the roots and give it a generous drink.
Water in the first year. Prune in summer rather than winter to reduce disease risk. Prune in summer to reduce disease risk. Silver leaf disease if pruned in winter.
Grows in pots. Use a loam-based compost such as John Innes No. 3, make sure the pot has drainage holes, and water regularly in summer, as containers dry out faster than borders.

This Prunus ‘Rotundifolia’ is supplied in a 20L pot. Container-grown plants can be planted almost all year round, as long as the ground is not frozen or waterlogged; autumn and spring are ideal.
